The Ultimate Mind Meld

Wired has an article
on the current state of research into neuron/semiconductor interfaces.
Researchers are close to building semiconductor nanostructures that can
communicate with individual neurons. These interfaces would allow the
development of a wide
range of bioelectric devices, from adapters that would
expand the human brain using add-on RAM or CPU modules to diagnostic
equipment
that could take readings directly from the human nervous system. There
is also work being done on robotic, prosthetic limbs and bioelectric
vision and hearing sensors to
correct blindness and deafness.

I've seen an ariticle on how some group of scientists were able to create a circuit form slug nuerons...i know it sounds crazy but i really
did see the article, it was rather fascinating. If i think of it i might be able to find the site, i just need to dig up my old research paper and
find my works cited page...
